bjcolglazier Posted March 15, 2016 Share Posted March 15, 2016 When you're stalking the webcams, waiting and watching for the park to start testing the rides for upcoming season. Saw them putting the BLSC thru some paces this morning. The white train, on one of its runs, did not make it up the top of the helix hill, and actually rolled back down from where it came. First time I'd ever seen that happen! 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stashua123 Posted March 18, 2016 Share Posted March 18, 2016 You start speculating on what the park is going to add for the next season already even though the park has yet to open up for the current season. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Magenta Lizard Posted March 19, 2016 Share Posted March 19, 2016 When I've gone from checking my countdown app every day thinking the end of the offseason would never get here, to avoiding looking at it because it reminds me of all the projects I wanted to do around the house before summer that I haven't gotten to yet. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"You want how much time off to do WHAT?! " The Interpreter: Funny you say this. I just got my summer vacation request approved: 2 weekends off in June which equates to about 19 days to travel to Virginia, PA, and maybe NJ to visit parks! Any "must see parks" besides Camden, KD and BGW? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Interpreter Posted March 20, 2016 Share Posted March 20, 2016 I am very partial to Dorney Park and Wildwater Kingdom--which puts you very close to NJFTP. OR you can always swing by Kennywood on your "way" back to the Commonwealth... 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BeeastFarmer Posted March 20, 2016 Share Posted March 20, 2016 Dorney is on my list. Forgive my ignorance (and I will do more detailed digging once I am finished with my last class in 8 weeks), but what about Knoebels, Waldameer and I am sure there are many other small parks in PA that I can't think of after a LONG day at work. I'm doing a Dollywood and Carowinds trip in 8 days! So excited! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Interpreter Posted March 20, 2016 Share Posted March 20, 2016 Knoebels and Waldameer are both musts. Be sure to check Knoebels calendar. You do not want to go on a day when only tickets are accepted. And, they can have some funky hours. Also consider Hersheypark, Conneaut Lake Park for a couple of hours or so IF it opens this year, Idlewild in Ligonier has a great mouse and the wonderful Rollo-Coaster, if you have spare time in New Jersey, there's Wildwood and Clementon... 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
electricsun Posted March 20, 2016 Share Posted March 20, 2016 I really enjoyed Dorney Park. They have a great Whip! Their Zephyr is a nice train ride but may not be the most comfortable for taller people. Their Cedar Creek Flyers are a bit off the beaten track and didn't seem to get a lot of people when I visited last June. I was able to ride, exit, and ride on the next cycle. For a smaller park, they have a good mix of coasters and rides. Hersheypark is also a nice park. Their dueling wooden coaster is a lot of fun - try both sides. Laff Trakk was an unexpected blast. Their Whip isn't as good as Dorney's but it's okay. Their Frontier Flyers seem to go a bit higher and faster but that may just be my perception. Enjoy your road trip! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KIghostguy Posted March 21, 2016 Share Posted March 21, 2016 I went to Knoebels last year for the first time, and it is a must. They have two fantastic wooden roller coasters (The Twister and the Phoenix) and a great traditional Haunted House ride. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MDMC01 Posted March 21, 2016 Share Posted March 21, 2016 Hershey is amazing; if you go, ride Storm Runner, Lightning Racer and Great Bear (those were my favorites at least; ymmv). Ride Skyrush for the credit (but again, ymmv). Dorney is pretty nice; they have a lot of fun coasters like Talon, Thunderhawk, Possessed, Hydra and Steel Force. Meteor is terrifying, but amazing. Hershey's Wild Mouse is better than Dorney's, imo. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
